Alli Weight Loss Pill May Lead To 'Unpleasant Toilet Experience'
The first FDA approved over the counter weight loss pill is on the market. The pill is supposed to help people lose 50 percent more weight than other diet supplements. But doctors said the new pill has some side effects that can keep you sidelined.
The new pill is called Alli. Taken three times a day with a low-calorie, low-fat diet, doctors said you'll lose weight. But if you eat food high in fat, you'll feel it.
"It's conditioning. It's like if you eat this stuff, you're going to have an unpleasant toilet experience," Dr. Konoy Mandal with Research Medical Center said. "It's not going to sound good, it's not going to look good and you're not going to be very popular in public."
Alli works by preventing fats from being absorbed in your body, but doctors said it can leave you with some very embarrassing bowel movements.
"Buy some extra underwear," Dr. Mandal said. "You're gonna have some events."
Under the drug facts on the back of the package, the manufacturer said gas with oily spotting and loose stools are part of the treatment effects. "Genius marketing," Dr. Mandal said. "Treatment effects...instead of like farting and pooping explosively."
Aside from the side effects, Dr. Mandal said the online support will help people lose weight.
"I think the power of it is going to be in the online community and the meal plan is going to be the power of it and not what Alli would do in and of itself," Dr. Mandal said.
It took Joan Gunter 11 years to lose 47 pounds with Weight Watchers, because Gunter said she didn't try the support groups. "I never stayed for any of the meetings," Gunter said. "I always thought I can do this on my own and I never really changed those habits and those behaviors."
Dr. Mandal said diet and exercise are key to losing weight, with or without Alli or other weight loss programs.
Alli is sold in major drug and grocery stores and it could affect your wallet too. 60 pills will set you back about $45.
